Apple is discontinuing the CX because compared to the CI they loose money
on it since people buy it empty and put in 3rd-party video boards, accelerators,
etc.  THAT'S why its outselling the CI.  Apple figures if they stop selling
the CX, all those CX buyers will switch to the CI and apple will make more
money.
